Lyrics –
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Why she had to go
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Why she had to go
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
[Outro: Paul McCartney]
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
My 2 cents –
Music has always had a huge place in my life. From my mom and her refusal to listen to anything except country to my dad and his love of classic rock and my grandmother who taught me the appreciation of classical and old time radio programs. There was so much that influenced my tastes in music. I remember as a teen “Dj’ing” for the parties my Dad would have. My great grandfather owned a am country station in Virginia. Music was everywhere in my life. It still is a major part of who I am… Even now YouTube is on in the background playing music. For me this song talks about those mist covered memories of where I have been. What is the memories that this song evokes for you?
Pattimouse 
I was a teenager when I first heard this song, and it was the first time I probably really started to notice of lyrics in a song, and from that time on, I became a follower of the great lyrics of the the songs, during that wonderful era, and I grew up learning about the world that surrounded me !!
